Jaimie Alexander Wants To Play Wonder Woman

Mostly known for her portrayal of Sif in the Thor films or for being Peter Facinelli’s current “Aman-DUHHHH,” Jaimie Alexander is a star on the rise, and it had absolutely nothing to with that dress she wore to the Thor preview. It’s mainly because she’s a very attractive actress who can play the role of ass kicker in a comic book franchise, and naturally that led to Jay Leno asking her on last night’s Tonight Show if she’s going to play Wonder Woman.

Alexander played the surprised bit quite well, but once again proved that when it comes to the old comic book stories brought to life on the big screen or TV, she knows her sh*t. Oh, and of course she’d really like to play Wonder Woman if anyone out there is listening. Otherwise, she might shove a sword up your ass.

Also, I’d totally let Uverse tack on another $20 to my monthly cable bill if they’d add a feature that allows Craig Ferguson to offer drunken commentary during anything that I’m watching. It could actually make Agents of SHIELD interesting.

In terms of being able to kick people, sure. In terms of being able to speak and deliver lines, I’ve seen silent era films that are more convincing (I realize this is a stupid concern given who is directing and writing it but still). Though I think it shouldn’t be a white woman, hence Torres, who is also several inches taller than Carano.

I don’t know who this Gina Torres person is but if you want to go a non-white (makes no sense since the character is white) and you are looking for Amazon type of woman I would go with the chick that used to be on TalkSoup and is now on Archer.

Also the alleged casting call going around for her has “exotic” listed as one of the traits which is code for not white. Doesn’t matter that the character is white, they can do whatever they want with it. It’s supposed to be a tall exotic woman from Paradise Island (home of course to Paradise City), throwing any random white starlet in there just seems lazy.

CG, it’s a super strong/athletic woman with a frickin lasso that makes people tell the truth. The character doesn’t require Meryl Streep’s acting skills, Gina Carano could more than handle it. And I defy you to imagine Gina Carano in the Wonder Woman outfit and tell me she wouldn’t be picture perfect to the comics.

That said, I hadn’t heard that they were looking for someone more exotic to play her. If that’s the case, I’ll see your Gina Torres and raise you to Paula Patton. Though given who’s behind these movies, we’ll probably end up with Michelle Rodriguez.

Don’t be so hard on Gina Carano. I’m pretty sure they dubbed over her voice in Haywire because her own was considered too feminine – which I think would actually work for Wonder Woman. Haywire was shit but I don’t think it was her fault.

1) Aisha Tyler is hotter than a motherfucker.
2) There are at least a dozen male action movie stars who are older than her, and quite a few who are nearly her age including Matt Damon and The Goddamn Batman Himself, Ben Affleck. So if you’re judging her on age alone, you’re a fucking idiot.

I don’t see an issue with her being Sif and Wonder Woman. I’d like to see Jamie Alexander in everything, really. While we were watching Thor 2, my wife asked me if Natalie Portman had a magic vagina, or was a hypnotist. She literally couldn’t understand Jane Foster over Sif.

She wouldn’t be my pick, but, I could see Hollywood casting her as WW. My vote would be to go for a lesser known actress and cast Bollywood actress (who is fluent in English) Sadha: [www.celeb-height-weight.psyphil.com]
